Unbelievable……VirnetX is a known serial offender ALWAYS litigating in TEXAS, where the accused always ALWAYS ALWAYS loses. No doubt Apple will win on appeal. Talk about a situation the Congress should be looking into that might actually fall under their purview, rather than badgering Tech companies with issues of which they have little or no understanding!

Hard day for investors . The whole market taking a big dive (allegedly) based on speculation “the Democratic candidate” (whoever that might be) could win. Personally, I don’t believe it but such are markets and rumors.

LOL you're smoking crack. The polls have not changed in any meaningful way in quite some time now and it looks like Biden (that's who) will win in a blowout, so that's clearly baked into the markets right now. It's all about the *massive* spike in COVID-19 cases and speculation of further shutdowns and the Senate's failure to pass any sort of aid bill. 

You are forgetting the inevitable circus that will follow a Trump loss. Think of the contested election in Florida all those years ago. Multiply that by around 1,000,000 and that's what could happen. Trump could still be president on 20 Jan 2021 and would be sworn in for another 4 years. All he has to do is not concede citing the avalanche of lawsuits that are sitting on GOP lawyers desks ready to be filed at 09:00 on 4th November.

Meanwhile, the rest of the world are looking on at the USA self destruct. All because of the vanity of one man.

I understand policies and preferences of tech site to discourage or even outlaw political commentary, however, there's little doubt that the future of the market will be influenced in one way or another depending on the winners as well as the reaction from the losers which is speculated to be anywhere from nothing to all-out civil war! I'm eagerly awaiting the actual results to be announced by Apple, but I'm encouraged by where the market is trending at this time. Now back to politics. I quoted the above primarily for the astute observation, "All because of the vanity of one man." However, I'd amend it slightly to say, "……the insanity of one man". 

Apple should never allow anything to do with Fuckerberg on their devices. 

Just one Epic battle after another. It started with a poorly choreographed charade from Epic. And who piles on after that? The Justice Dept. with little to no concrete understanding of Apple, or for that matter, any tech company's operations. Then Microsoft decides to pile on, which is a bit surprising given their own nefarious history and their current profitable relationship with Apple. The darkest player of all in the Tech sector - Zuckerberg then very publically adds his venom as a distraction to his own woes, a result of his, like Google's, dissatisfaction with Apple's new Safari anti-tracking feature that would reduce their ability to harvest our information. Maybe they think we're blind to the fact that our information is bought and sold to…………anyone who can cough up the $$$s. That is their primary business after all. I think Google has been more hands-off on this matter as a result of their current Justice Dept. woes + their very lucrative deal with Apple as the default search engine in Safari.

Ah, yes………Samsung, the Donald J Trump of the tech sector!
